Esports World Cup 2026: Rainbow Six Siege Schedule, Times, and Broadcast Info
The Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026, while moved to Paris and no longer associated with Riyadh, continues to face criticism due to its funding from Saudi Arabian royalty. This funding is part of a program aimed at improving the country's image, which is often scrutinized for human rights violations, intolerance towards the LGBTQ+ community, and disrespect towards women. Before detailing the Rainbow Six Siege tournament at the EWC 2026, we wish to state our opposition to these aspects.
The tournament is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.
